As you begin to get your food storage together, you will probably do some calculations as to how much of certain dry goods you may need. For example you may come up with a total of 300 pounds of wheat. You will most likely be storing that wheat in #10 cans or 5 gallon buckets. Inevitably you will ask the question, “How many cans or buckets will that be?”
Here are some estimates of how much will fit in # 10 cans and 5 gallon buckets for the most common dry food items. Remember these are just estimates. Actual values may be slightly different depending on how full you pack them and if you use Mylar bags or not.
